Kubuntu Dapper + K3b - destroying my dvd's

[Morten Gerdsen]

Hi Mitch,

I have speed at "auto", but anyway it seldom goes above 5-6 although I
have a 16x burner with 16x discs.
But I think the important thing is that it works under Gnome (Breezy),
but not with KDE (Dapper). Does somebody know what differences between
these setups could influence DVD burning?
